There is quite a lot of new stuff in the Elbeno household this week.<\/p>\n

On Saturday we braved the outside world for lunch once more, and perused the shelves at Borders for a while afterwards. I picked up a couple<\/a> of books<\/a> that I thought looked interesting.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, our new TV<\/a> arrived, so the old one (28″ Toshiba CRT) has been put to use upstairs in the “retro-console lounge”. i.e. Put into a cupboard (big fitted wardrobe) on the old TV stand with the N64 and Saturn hooked up. Yes, they count as retro consoles now… plus, they are the only older consoles I have that are 120V NTSC. Anyway, the N64 is very Henry-friendly for when he's a little older.<\/p>\n

Second, I went to the local Target at 8am (opening time) on Sunday and along with about 10 other frothers picked up a Nintendo DS Lite<\/a>. Also Super Mario Bros, Brain Age, and Big Brain Academy. And of course I already had Animal Crossing: Wild World from my birthday a couple of weeks back, in anticipation of this day.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Elbeno also got a new office chair which will also do duty as the retro-console lounge chair. And finally I got a new pair of shoes. Brooks. A snip at $40 from Shoe Pavilion. Mrs. Elbeno's new pair will probably cost three times as much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
